MURU House Anaga

MURU House Anaga Overview

First Impressions

Tucked away on a winding mountain road in Tenerife’s rugged Anaga region, MURU House Anaga feels like stumbling upon someone’s well-kept secret. The four-star property sits perched among ancient laurel forests, and honestly, the drive up here is half the adventure — though you’ll appreciate that free parking once you arrive. This isn’t your typical beachfront resort, and that’s exactly what makes it special. The setting immediately transports you away from the ordinary tourist experience.

Location & Setting

The Anaga Mountains are something else entirely — we’re talking about one of the oldest parts of Tenerife, where hiking trails weave through misty forests that feel almost prehistoric. You’re about a 20-minute drive from Santa Cruz, but it might as well be another world up here. Couples absolutely love this spot (and I can see why), rating the location nearly 9 out of 10 for romantic getaways. The recent guest rating of 8.6 for location speaks volumes — this is the kind of place where you actually want to spend time just soaking in the surroundings. The natural beauty here is genuinely unmatched.

The Experience

What strikes you immediately is how quiet everything becomes once you settle in. There’s no traffic noise, no crowds — just the sound of wind through the trees and maybe some birds you’ve never heard before. The property has this refined, almost boutique feel without being pretentious about it. You know what I mean? It’s upscale in all the right ways, focusing on the experience rather than flashy amenities you probably won’t use anyway. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

Exploring the Area

Here’s the thing about staying in Anaga — you’re positioned perfectly for some of the island’s best hiking, but you’re also close enough to explore Santa Cruz when you want a dose of city life. The contrast is pretty remarkable, actually. One morning you’re walking through cloud forests that look like something from a fairy tale, and by afternoon you could be browsing the markets in the capital. Most guests seem to use this as their base for really exploring the northern part of the island, which tends to be less touristy than the southern resorts. The versatility of this location is truly exceptional.

Why Guests Love It

That perfect 10 rating isn’t just a fluke — people genuinely connect with this place. I think it’s because MURU House Anaga offers something you can’t get at the big resort hotels: a real sense of place. You’re not just visiting Tenerife; you’re experiencing one of its most authentic and beautiful corners. The combination of that mountain setting, the thoughtful hospitality, and the fact that you can park right there (trust me, this matters more than you’d think) creates something pretty special. It’s the kind of spot where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out. This is where memories are truly made.

• Natalie from Spain (10/10)

  This place was just incredible. The house is so nicely decorated, spotless and the views are just breathtaking. You can see from the bed the pool, the village and the mountains. We mostly enjoyed the heated pool and the beautiful ocean views. Very well equipped and everything seems new. The hosts are super nice and gave us a lot of tips about things to do. We enjoyed the canarian food at Casa Picar, just steps away from the house. The beach is a short drive and we loved Casa Africa for nice fish. A truly authentic experience, we got to discover this charming part of the island. Highly recomended !
